What would you tell your 20 something self about working in the energy industry?

Do not be afraid to take risks. You will be given many great opportunities. Take them, even if you are afraid that you might fail.

It is very difficult to plan your career path when you are in your 20s. Focus instead on taking advantages of opportunities to learn, grow and develop new skills.

You will learn something from all the different jobs you have and people for whom you work. Appreciate these opportunities.

Do not be afraid of change. Take advantage of the opportunities that change presents.

The energy industry is one of the most global, diverse and interesting industries in which to work. Enjoy it!
